FIPA specification enables the interoperability among a diversity of agent platforms in a highly heterogeneous computing environment. Agents of different systems or providers, as far as they are all FIPA-compliant, can communicate and interact directly by Agent Communication Language (ACL). However, potential security threats in agent platforms are not fully addressed in both the FIPA specification and most of its implementations such as FIPA-OS. In order to add security features to FIPA, we propose a two-layer architecture that includes a security layer as the security extension to FIPA-OS. This architecture provides two types of security-related services to agents: a secure communication service which prevents any eavesdropping or interference from the outside network, and a secure execution environment service which protects server resources and agent services from any unauthorized access of agents. In this paper we present the design and implementation of this architecture as well as the trust model.
